The climax OF excitement in the provision deal
was apparently reached to-day. The CLIQUE
which had been conducting the deal In mess pork
succeeded before the close of the afternoon
Board in advancing the price of mess pork for
May delivery to SO 10 y Dbl, at which figure few
"short' operators settled. The market then
broke off to sis and closed there. Starting sales
for May were made at SIG So, or advance of 80
y Dbl over the closing prices of Saturday; the
market advanced quickly to SIT 10, declined to
SIT, advanced to SIT So, receded to SIT 45, ad-
vanced irregularly to S1S 10, fell off to SIT 3d.
then advanced without a sale to $l8 40 made
another clear jump to $1S rs and then went to
SD and again TO $40 TO-, when an attempt was
made to sell of pork al this figure. The market
dropped to 81 go without sale and declined to
SIS, where it rested. There is now no doubt
thai May is cornered, but to what altitude price
it viii go is purely conjectural.
